Verizon Intros At-Whim Pricing

Broadband Reports points out "coverage" [The Onion] of Verizon's new pricing scheme, which takes recent telecom industry moves to their logical conclusion. Quoting:

Verizon Communications, Inc. announced a new service package for its wireless and residential customers that would charge them widely varying, but always high, fees every month depending how the communications giant feels at the time.

This feels fairly accurate to me, surprising given that it's not actually strictly speaking true.

Speaking of which, the Onion's new at-whim publishing schedule throws me off...I'm used to checking in there only on Wednesdays. Will have to look more often.
